Contents

Location

It is located at number 1 on the Avenue Princesse Grace in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. [1] [2]

History

It was built by the Caroli Group with concrete in the modernist architectural style in 1973. [1] [3] It is eighty-one metres high, with twenty-six storeys. [1] It is the twelfth-tallest building in Monaco. [4]

It was formerly a luxury hotel managed by Société des bains de mer de Monaco (SBM). [1] [5] The owners were David and Frederick Barclay, through their holding company called Ellerman Investments. [6] [7] [8] It was home to La Coupole, a restaurant run by chef Didier Aniès, which received one star in the Michelin Guide. [5] In 2004, the building was renovated by architects Ivan Brico and Ange Pecoraro. [5] In December 2007, the hotel closed down. [1] In May 2008, 1,000 SBM employees stopped outside the former hotel during their demonstration to express their discontent at their allegedly poor working conditions. [9]

It was renovated by the construction firm J.B. Pastor & Fils from 2007 to 2010, and turned into a residential building. [2] A green wall was added. [10]

The Club des Résidents Etrangers de Monaco (CREM) is headquartered in this building. [11]
